About SimpleDay

SimpleDay is a beautiful, minimalist diary app built around one simple idea: one entry per day. No feeds, no clutter, no accounts to sign up for — just a calm space to write.

Write your thoughts, experiences, and memories in Markdown, and keep them private. Your entries stay on your device and, optionally, on a cloud server you control.

Features:

* Markdown support — formatting, lists, headers and more

* Live preview — toggle between edit and preview mode

* Minimalist, distraction-free interface

* One entry per day — a simple, focused approach to journaling

* Auto-save — never lose your thoughts

* App lock — protect the app with biometrics (fingerprint/Face ID) or your device PIN

* WebDAV sync — automatic backup to your own cloud (Nextcloud, ownCloud, etc.)

* Smart import — import existing entries from WebDAV on first launch

* Privacy first — no trackers, no ads, no analytics

Your data belongs to you. SimpleDay talks only to the WebDAV server you configure — nothing else.

SimpleDay is free software, licensed under the GNU GPLv3.

What's new in 1.4.0

Fixed: with App Lock on, switching to another app for a moment asked for your fingerprint again and threw away entry text you had not saved yet. The lock now waits (5 minutes by default, settable to 0, 1, 5 or 15 in Settings), and the entry you were writing stays open behind the lock screen. Faster: the "+" button no longer reads every entry in the diary to find today's, so it opens straight away on a long-running diary.

How to install SimpleDay

  1. Tap Download — the app's official page on F-Droid opens.
  2. Install it with the F-Droid app (recommended, for automatic updates), or use the download button on that page.
  3. If Android asks, allow the F-Droid app or your browser to install apps, then tap Install.
  4. Open SimpleDay from your app drawer.
